When we come to fundamental rights in article 19 the right to religion has been to a certain extent hedged in by two sub-clauses which run as follows:
“Nothing in this article shall affect the operation of any existing law or preclude the State from making any law-(a) regulating or restricting any economic, financial, political or other secular activity which may be associated with religious practice;(b) for social welfare and reform or for throwing open Hindus religious institutions of a public character to any class or section of Hindus.“
